Coddled Soup

 

Crusty Bread Bowl
Round loaves of crusty bread make delicious, edible soup bowls. Hollow out the center of the loaf, making the ridge wider to hold more soup. Thinner soups do better with harder crusted breads.

 

 

Bad Wrap

 


Rolled dough purses
Not proficient at making ravioli from scratch? All thumbs when a recipe calls for creating a rolled dough and making small purses for tasty fillings? Had it with trying to make dough the right consistency for dumplings? If making these kind of casings always turns into a bad wrap, consider the eggroll wrapper.

Found in supermarkets, these come packaged fresh and make a great substitute when a recipe calls for a pasta-like casing, such as manicotti. Eggroll wrappers are paper-thin sheets of dough that will significantly reduce your prep time as well as help you make a perfect wrap every time.
